“All of the inspections were executed in a synchronised manner at the same time in a short window to ensure that the surprise element remains intact so as to get accurate information about working and operations of the schools, which were inspected on their respective dates of inspection,” he stated.

The primary objective of the surprise inspections was to probe, scout out and ascertain that whether the schools were functioning in compliance with the Board’s norms as per the Bye-Laws of the Board and are not enrolling non-attending students while maintaining the academic and physical infrastructure in the school.

CBSE has stated that appropriate action will be taken based on the findings of the inspection teams. The Board reiterated its commitment to maintaining high educational standards and emphasized that strict steps will be taken in cases of any policy violations.

The Board also released the names of the schools where the inspections were undertaken. These included; International School (Guwahati, Assam), Spring Dale International School ( Beharbari Charali, Assam), Rajindra Public School (Delhi), Shri Ram Global School (Whitefield, Karnataka), Sanskar Public School (Naugao, Madhya Pradesh), Kiddy’s Corner Higher Secondary School (Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh), Aditya English Medium School (Pune, Maharashtra), Delhi World Public School (Nerul, Maharashtra), Crimson Anisha Global School (Pune, Maharashtra), and Jupiter Public School (Odisha).
